About a week ago I went paintballing, 1 hit me on my left shin bone, the bruise is going but I now have a pain in my lower left leg that is activated by movement or by putting pressure on the top outer part of my shin (not where the paint ball hit) its not a bruise pain so I was just wondering if I should get it checked or leave it because its probably nothing

It never hurts to get it checked. Paintballs HURT when you get shot with them (I know this because I've been shot in the neck with one.. yes, the NECK!)

Someone said I was very lucky that it didn't crush my esophagus.

I know you said it doesn't hurt where you got shot, but the fact that you got shot could have caused deeper problems. I would see the doc just to make sure everything is OK.

Agreed, getting it in the neck hurts a heck of a lot I also got shot in the neck, lol just right of my adams apple,anyhoo I don't really want to take up time that could be used for something useful,I mean its not like I can't walk, it just hurts a bit when I do,maybe leaving it for another week then if it still hurts ill go check it out

Well in the mean time take some Advil (it works great!) and see if it dies down. If it doesn't I'd still go see the doctor :)
